Ah, come on FF, you know how much you want the 25 yr old guy sitting next to you in class.

Some of the guys I work with love to tease me about it's time to look for a younger model because FT was so much older. No, not this old lady. A little younger would be fine but not younger than my DD !!!
That's my boundary line and I'm sticking to it.

Oh Jeez Louise, I spend all day dealing with them over the counter at the college....

Some are quite swoon-worthy I must say, but I can't imagine going there in reality.

That's why they invented fantasy!

Well, the guy I am seeing is younger than me..I might be considered a cougar..I am not old enough to be his mother and I didn't go to school with his father or mother...

When you reach a certain age, age is just a number...I wouldn't see someone in their 20's or 30's..,,,But 40's is just fine with me and I am in my 50's...

He makes me laugh and we have a very good time together...He has kids and mine is grown...We make each other happy and that is all that matters....

She packed up her potential and all she had learned and headed out to change a few things.

I do not feel like a cougar. We are clear that we really care for each other but NO way is there any future. I am 53 and he is 35. In addition he is so ADD I would be his mother and he would resent me like a teenager.

But I really like him and he feels the same.

I just feel happy and lucky!
Hope I did not ruin the purpose of this post!

There is a wonderful life on the other side of hell.

That is about my younger age limit too. Mid 40s. My DD will be 40 in two weeks, that icks me if I was dating someone her age. That's just me.

just saw that on Facebook tonight.

I did too and the last line made me chuckle because I get told so much this should be my next path....cougar.

Maybe ????

I went to lunch someone a few weeks ago who said they were a recovering cougar.

I laughed my ass off. First time I heard of that.

My sister used to joke about wanting to be a cougar, but as she was only 30 she would have to settle for being a puma. Well I really wanted to post this to her facebook last night, but she is currently in a relationship with a man in his 50s so it didn’t seem apt.
